I'm not too versed in the other companies' givings, but that's about all I can scramble right now. The Game Boy stuff has already been Alis'd and Imp'd all up, so HAVE AT THESE!

Why the long tags? I would reverse all of these.

I don't like the xbox <-> xbox_360 implication. They are two different consoles and you'd just be polluting the one tag with the other. Although you could search for xbox -xbox_360 to get the same result in case it is applied, I just don't think the implication is a good idea.

The NDS ones make a bit more sense since you would probably want to find all the types NDS when you search for nintendo_ds. With xbox, I don't think that's the case, you'd be looking for the xbox console.

I'm not sure about the NES -> famicom idea either since they're not the same thing.
